| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2009 (35.5cl bottle) Cloudy, bright orange to amber colour with a firm mid-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Apricot and lemon fruity and slightly woody hoppy aroma with a mildly sweet malty background. Moderately bitter flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid malty base with lemon- and grape-fruity, slightly woody hoppy notes, lingering into the dry and aromatic (not brutally) bitter finish with licorice and nettle-like spices in the aftertaste (16.II.09).

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Very tasty, loved the hoppy aroma and flavor. One of my favorites from Rogue. Easy to drink and need to be careful since it can sneek up on you. timfoolery (484), California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottle from DTM. Rogue uses a lot of hops in all of their beers, so it is not surprising that this one came across more like a pale IPA. It did not taste like others in the genre, such as the Fullers of the world, which is to say more traditional and tame. Very good brew. joshwilfong (776), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 on cask. light brown with huge white head. some crystal malt comes through, but a lot of hop flavor, a little too much for the style in my opinion. a well crafted beer, but i thought it would benefit from increased hop bitterness and a little more malt balance HonkeyBra (1319), Lemont, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Orange pour with a big hoppy aroma mixed with some sweet, spicey malt. Flavor is bitter, but a nice, flavorful bitterness, balanced by the caramel spicy malt. Very smooth. Seems like a great session ale.
